Den svenska entreprenadsektorn innehar en särställning inom obligationsrätten på så sätt att det saknas lagstiftning och att det ofta rör sig om komplexa avtalssituationer där den befintliga lagstiftningen inte är direkt tillämpbar. Entreprenaderna är ofta långa avtalsförhållanden som involverar flertalet parter och entreprenörer i flera led, samtidigt som hela entreprenaden i vissa fall kan vara The Swedish construction sector holds a special position in the law of obligations because there is no legislation and there are often complex contractual situations where the existing legislation is not directly applicable. The contracts are often long-term contractual relationships that involve several parties and contractors in several stages, while the entire contract in some cases is fully de

Background: For most patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) kidney transplantation is the best treatment option. Best outcomes are achieved with living donation. To increase access to living donation for patients who are not compatible with their living donors, Kidney Exchange Programs (KEPs) have evolved. By exchanging donors, compatibility can be achieved thus enabling transplantation.

The concept of defense capability is commonly used in Swedish social debate and within strategically oriented communication from the government and armed forces. However, this concept does not origin from any formally established definition or concept clarification. Instead, its meaning varies, or is implicit, which is unfortunate when this capability needs to be addressed and communicated intelli

Kriget i Jemen har nu pågått i sju år och FN-organisationer beskriver den humanitära situationen som den värsta i världen just nu med över 20 miljoner människor i behov av akut humanitär hjälp och för ca 11 miljoner av dessa är behovet akut. Förenade Arabemiraten och Saudiarabien leder en militärkoalition mot Huthirebellerna i ett krig där båda sidorna i konflikten har begått brott mot den interThe war in Yemen has now entered its seventh year and human rights organizations are describing the humanitarian crisis as the largest in the world with over 20 million people in need of humanitarian aid, the need being urgent for 11 million of them. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi-Arabia are leading a military coalition against Houthi-led forces in a war that has seen violations agains the i

This master thesis project was completed in partnership with Lantmännen, known for producing Gluten Free (GF) PromOat®—a concentrated oat β glucan powder. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the properties of emulsions containing GF PromOat® oat β-glucan. It specifically focuses on the critical overlap concentration, viscosity, and stability before and after high-pressure homogenization

In recent years, it has been reported that sex education in Swedish schools has been lacking, and, thus, in 2022, new guidelines for sex education were implemented (sexuality consent and relationships, SCaR). This change meant that sex education is part of all curricula and that the responsibility to teach it rests on teachers of all subjects. With the theory of language as reproducing and changin

This study aims to investigate the presence of stigmatization in the reintegration process of former criminals. More specifically, this study examines potential gender differences in former criminals' experiences of a reintegration process. A qualitative approach has been applied, utilizing semi-structured interviews with eight respondents who all have a background characterized by crime and d

Modern consumerism and overconsumption in e-commerce have profound ecological ramifications, necessitating the adoption of pro-environmental behavior. Imagine a world where sustainable choices are seamlessly integrated into our online shopping experience. Nudging is a powerful tool that holds the key to transforming consumer behavior and promoting sustainable online shopping. However, there is a c

I denna studie testades och utvärderades fyra membran mot varandra för användning i högtemperaturprotonutbytesmembranbränslecell (HT-PEMFC) applikationer. En fosforsyra (PA)-dopat polybensimidazol (PBI)-membran användes som en referens som den nuvarande state-of-the-art. Laddningsbäraren i detta membran är PA, och det finns fördelar med att byta från PA till jonisk vätska (IL) som laddningsbärare In this study four membranes were tested and evaluated against each other for use in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) applications. A phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane, was used as a reference as the current state-of-the-art. The charge carrier in this membrane is the PA, and there are advantages in switching from PA to ionic liquid (IL) as t

The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon 4 allele is the strongest risk factor of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), however, the fluid concentrations of ApoE and its different isoforms (ApoE2, ApoE3 and ApoE4) in AD patients and among APOE genotypes (APOE epsilon 2, epsilon 3, epsilon 4) remain controversial. Using a novel mass spectrometry-based method, we quantified total ApoE and specific ApoE isof

Hormone-mediated maternal effects play an important role in the formation of a differentiated phenotype. They have been shown to influence a wide array of offspring traits, both early in life and in adulthood. One important offspring trait that is under the influence of maternal androgens is the immune system. In birds, a growing number of studies show that yolk androgens modulate immune function

The main purpose of this research is to provide an agenda for future warehousing research relevant for both academic development and practitioners’ needs. In order to suggest a practically relevant future research agenda, first a comprehensive literature review was performed to identify research areas covered in the literature. Then, 15 warehouse managers and senior consultants were interviewed to

Resistivity in horizontal boreholes can give useful detailed information about the geological conditions for construction in rock, i.e. in front of a tunnel bore machine. This paper is an attempt to identify a suitable methodology for an effective measuring routine for this type of geophysical measurements under actual construction site conditions. Prior to any measurements numerical modelling was

Context. The structures of the outer atmospheres of red giants are very complex. Recent interpretations of a range of different observations have led to contradictory views of these regions. It is clear, however, that classical model photospheres are inadequate to describe the nature of the outer atmospheres. The notion of large optically thick molecular spheres around the stars (MOLspheres) has b

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärtinfarkt och dess komplikationer är den främsta orsaken till död i västvärlden. Vid en akut hjärtinfarkt stängs blodförsörjningen till en del av hjärtat av pga en blodpropp i ett av hjärtats kranskärl. Den delen av hjärtat som försörjdes av det nu stängda kranskärlet drabbas då av brist på syre och näringsämnen och riskerar att skadas. Skadans storlek på hjärtat berINTRODUCTION: Reperfusion therapy in patients with an ongoing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is to re-establish coronary flow in the epicardial arteries as soon as possible in order to reduce infarct size and associated complications. Hypothermia has in experimental studies been shown to reduce infarct size. Clinical trials, however, have not been able to show this effect, possibly bec

Adsorption of mixed polymer solutions in good solvent containing polymers of different chain length has been studied by applying simulation techniques on a coarse-grained bead-spring polymer model. Fully flexible polymers at varying bead-surface interaction strength and different combinations of flexible, semiflexible, and stiff polymers at a single bead-surface interaction strength have been exam
